The largest and best-selling category, and Michelin PRIMACY 4+ belongs to it.

For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

Skoda Superb Mk3 1.4Tsi · 225/45 R18 · 16 093 km
★★★★☆

<p>In reality overall tyre performance is down to the driver of the car.I am not a fast driver but try to keep to the speed limit if conditions allow.</p><p>The tyres didn't not appear to loose pressure.</p><p>I live on the Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester and the road conditions are quite frankly in certain areas are dangerous. My tyres do handle the road conditions extremely well.</p><p>I run the tyre pressures at 36 psi all round at have achieved 61 mpg but my wife was not speaking to me during our journey !</p><p>Generally on a good journey I achieve 50 + and I believe much of that comes down to tyre choice.The car was fitted with Perrelli tyre from the factory and in all honesty no issues with them but I do prefer the Michelin product.</p>

★★☆☆☆

<p>These tyres are just average in good dry weather, but when it gets cold and mildly damp, they behave like cheap budget tyres and I just lose all confidence in them. They rate really well on paper, but they are absolutely awful. I can’t wait to replace them which at 12k miles it would appear won’t be long.</p>

★★☆☆☆

These tyres are frightening on damp cold roads. Came new with my car and I can’t wait to replace them. They’re good in warm conditions but nothing special, but as soon as it gets cold they behave like budget tyres. I’ve had a lot of summer tyres in my time and none have suffered in the colder British weather like these do.

★★★★★

Very good tyres, no issues regarding grip level in wet or dry weather. The handling is great and so is road noise, noticeably quieter than the Nexen on the rear of the car. So far tread level looks nearly identical to new having done around 7000 miles. All in all they are great tyres as you’d expect from Michelin.

Mazda 3 Sport 2.2 Diesel 185 BHP · 215/45 R18 · 16 093 km
★★★★☆

From frequently doing long 1200km+ drives across Australian highways, the Primacys have been very comfortable and safe, especially in the wet. Tuned manual turbo diesel & very happy with dry grip on twisty roads. Having to emergency brake for wildlife (kangaroos) multiple times, braking is fantastic dry/wet. Wear seems reasonable, they still look new and look great on the car. Would definitely get these again.
